...Harlee Dean Talksport Interview Transcript- Interviewer: It’s been a strange season in many ways, you started off poorly but now you find yourselves two points off the top six Harlee Dean: Yeah, I think a lot has been said about Marinus and that he was the reason for the poor start and this that and the other but I think anybody that had come in with so much change and um things being so different from the way they were and so many new players coming in and players leaving it was a struggle for anybody. Then obviously Marinus left and Lee came in who had been there last year and knew what we was about and just reverted us back to that really he got us energised got us pressing higher and got us all motivated (.) his team selections were half the core of the team last season so the team felt together again it’s been tough for the foreign boys because the championship is a hard league frankly physical, games every week and it probably wasn’t what they’re used too and they were probably chucked in the middle of the deep end at the beginning of the season, Lee kept all the big boys that had been there and done it and put the foreign boys in as substitutes and stuff like that and we just got better and better and I think that’s half the reason we’re pushing back up {talk about Brighton, Reading and Christmas demands, sacrifices etc} Interviewer: So what is your contract situation at the moment? Is it the end of the season you’re contracted too? Harlee Dean: Yeah (.) my...

...NEOLOGISMS AND MORHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF GAY LANGUAGE OF STUDENTS IN SURIGAO DEL SUR STATE UNIVERSITY S.Y. 2015-2016 A Concept Paper Presented to Maria Lady Sol A. Suazo, Ph.D, Instructor Surigao Del Sur State University Tandag City In partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English JOSIE ALNGOG NICOLE HOPE ARIO CRISLER ATIBULA RUBELLE HOPE BANTAYAN JANUARY 2016 INTRODUCTION The language of gays known as gayspeak has now earned respect from the community and observably been infused in the mainstream language of the society. Language is evolving and with its changing nature, existing language needs to be documented for posterity reasons. Gayspeak is not an exemption. It has to be analyzed especially its morphology. This study focused on the Neologisms and morphological analysis of the language of gays who were studying at Surigao Del Sur State University S.Y. 2015-2016. Neologisms is the name for a relatively new or isolated term, word, or phrase that may be in the process of entering common use, but that has not yet been accepted into mainstream language. According to Bendulo and Felisilda (2011), Gayspeak is simply an adaptation of the mainstream language like English, Filipino, and Cebuano. For the purpose of shielding from the chasms of the heterosexuals, gays construct their language through simple reversal, syllabic reversal, simple reversal with affixation, clipping with affixation, straight...

...In our daily life, the role of speaking is very significant to support us in communicating and interacting with others. This is because we produce speech for many purposes from the informal situations such as talking to friends, family and colleagues to formal occasions i.e. presenting a lecture or a seminar. In spoken language, we could observe that people pause during their speech, which can be seen as a natural phenomenon that may be connected to a cognitive process. For instance, someone pauses in order to have time for thinking and planning the following speech. Moreover, pauses could be detected as a trouble in speaking (Levelt, 1989) cited in (Clark and Fox, 2002). These reasons often make a person produce filled or unfilled pauses during...

...The Non-Natives Non-native English speakers who come to the U.S. every year have difficulty speaking the language even though they have studied English, they do not understand the difficult accent. For example English’s language words are spelled the same and some of them even sound the same. These similarities of English which they learned in their countries might be different. Non-native English speakers have difficulty with assimilation, commutation, and adjustment. Miscommunication is a big problem. Non-native speakers have a hard time speaking with others because they cannot understand the way others speak English like in the article “Mother Tongue”, Tan realized the way her mother and husband spoke was something she heard a lot, but when she stepped out of the community. Tan heard everything differently even the language sound different then what she was used to hearing around her family. Amy Tan states, “All the forms of standard English that I learned in school and through books, the form of English I did not use at home with my mother,” non-native speakers like Tan’s mother could have learned English in her country but when she arrived in America the English she spoke over there was different then what they speak in America....

...The article Lexical-Semantic Organization in Children With Specific Language Impairment written by Li Sheng and Karla K. McGregor wanted to determine whether children with specific language impairment (SLI) show deficits in lexical-semantic organization, and if so, whether these types of deficits were corresponding with their delay in vocabulary size and whether the deficits affect all children with SLI (Sheng, 2010 p. 147). They started off the study by testing the hypothesis that children with SLI have deficient lexical-semantic organization when compared to their age-matched peers (Sheng, 2010 p. 155). The researchers used a repeated word association task to acquire an estimate of lexical-semantic organization and compared performance between...

...One of the major keys to analyzing Krauthammer's essay is to understand the distinction between the words: national language, common language, and official language. When referring to a country's language, the term national simply means that a vast majority of citizens of the country speak one language. The term most similar to national when addressing language would be the term of common language. Common language seems a bit self-explanatory: it is the common language exchanged among people in a country. Both common language and national language are more concerned with the language spoken by citizens in a country. However, an official language is more so concerned with the language used in the government. An official language is formally...

...American Sign Language (ASL) is a visual and natural language and used widely by the members of the deaf community in the United States (Valli & Lucas, 2000; Andrews, Leigh, & Weiner, 2004). About 90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents (National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, 2015; Nover et al, 1998). The other 10% are born to one or both deaf parents (Mitchell & Karchmer, 2002). Deaf children who have deaf parents have full access to ASL whereas most deaf children with hearing parents have limited access to ASL. Deaf children with hearing parents are typically not given the same early opportunity (Baker, 2010). Deaf families who use ASL understand the importance of having early language access to develop...

...LANGUAGE ANALYSIS By releasing the national health report and It's findings to everyday Australians. The immense extent of our obesity issue. From the moment of it's release awareness has been on the rise. Gary Jennings’ and Simon Stewart’s opinion piece, ‘When it comes to being fatties, we’re winners’ reiterates the findings of the report emphasising the problem is a result of social issues rather than a freak accident. The writers stress the need to act now to avoid dire consequences if we are to overcome the nation’s ‘biggest’ crisis. The writer’s opening statement, ‘reports of our obesity epidemic are far from exaggerated’, while justifying this with, ‘new figures collated by Baker BDI Heart and Diabetes Institute’, sets a controlled and reasonable tone for the duration of the piece. This use of tone allows the audience to visualise the writers as sensible characters increasing the believability of what they have to say. This also helps to provide a foundation for the findings of their own report titled ‘Fat Bomb: The long term consequences of middle age Australia’s expanding waist line.’ This puts the audience under the impression that they are being told all the facts by leading health professionals, despite this being clearly not the case. Anyhow the audience begin to accept the so called facts presented before them, agreeing with the writer’s contention that obesity is a major issue. In addition to the writer’s manipulation of tone, their frequent use of exaggerated and...

...Living in an immigrant family has its perks. I have the ability to learn traditions and custom that are not part of the American society and be able to share these traditions to others. However, living in an immigrant family also has its disadvantages. One main disadvantage that has affected me was my language barrier. Even though I was born in the United States of America, English was not my first language; instead, I spoke Gujarati, an Indian language. My family communicated with me in Gujarati and I did not grow up learning English. As I started school, my parents realized the necessity of English and attempted to teach me English with all of their time and effort. I recall my mother taking me to the Oak Forest Public Library to check out books to improve my English reading and writing skills. I was even placed in Sylvan Learning for English and Reading help. My language barrier is...

...Chapter 1: Introduction Natural Language Processing Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the computerized approach to analyzing text that is based on both a set of theories and a set of technologies. And, being a very active area of research and development, there is not a single agreed-upon definition that would satisfy everyone, but there are some aspects, which would be part of any knowledgeable person’s definition. Several elements of this definition can be further detailed. Firstly the imprecise notion of ‘range of computational techniques’ is necessary because there are multiple methods or techniques from which to choose to accomplish a particular type of language analysis. ‘Naturally occurring texts’ can be of any language, mode, genre,...

...In George Orwell’s Politics and the English Language and Anne Curzan’s Teaching the Politics of Standard English, they both explain that a language becomes the standard way of speaking and writing due to social and political factors as well as the words infused in the language evolve with the social events that follow. The term for this Salafi Jihadist Militant group (ISIS) was first conceived in 1999, but it was not until it began affecting the surrounding countries that it peeked global interest. Rather than understand the implications and evolution of our language, we just adapt it free-willingly, without accounting for the previous forms of its use as well as taking the time to truly comprehend how our society adopted these words and evolved their uses in contemporary syntax and semantics, which will lead for one to question the significance of language on the way one perceives their societal environment....
